Email

Email is an official method of communication at IU

The university reserves the right to send official communications to students by email with the full expectation students will receive and read these messages in a timely fashion. Official university email accounts are available for all registered students. Official university communications will be sent to students’ official university email addresses. For IU Bloomington, this is the @indiana.edu address.

You are expected to check your email frequently and consistently to stay current with university-related communications. In addition to monitoring your university email account, you may want to check for course-related email within Canvas. The same user ID and passphrase is used for Canvas and the university email system. For more information, visit Canvas.

If you have your email forwarded from your official university email address to another address, you do so at your own risk. The university is not responsible for issues that may affect proper or timely transmission of—or access to—email forwarded to any other address. You are still responsible for knowing and complying with the content of official communications sent to your official IU email address. Instructions to set up or cancel email forwarding are available on One.IU using Email Management.

Notice: Please be advised that email is not considered to be a secure medium for the transmission of confidential and/or sensitive information (see IU Classifications of Institutional Data for more information). If you need to send confidential and/or sensitive information via email to Student Central about registration, financial aid, or your student account, use our secure contact form instead.
